For all the money Planned Parenthood receives, not one penny can be used to fund their abortion services under federal law.
The article also points out the fact that its widely disputed that the fee is actually sufficient to cover the cost of the procedure. No government plan like Medicaid funds abortions. They also point out in the article that any tax subsidy a woman receives is possibly a violation of the law as its helping to fund the ability to afford that extra fee.
In no way getting into the rats nest that is the overall abortion debate, simply pointing out facts you seem to have no knowledge of.
